Application Cover Sheet
and
Acceptance of Offer Form
In order to streamline the administrative processes involved in
establishing
a research account for a successful grant, Research Services uses two forms:
-
the Application Cover Sheet for Externally Funded Research and
-
the Acceptance of Offer form.
Application
Cover Sheet
(ACS) for Externally Funded Research Applications
The ACS must be completed and submitted to the Research
Office with
any external grant application and any research contracts and
consultancies.
Applications cannot be accepted and contracts not processed without the
completed form.
The ACS has been designed to collect data for various
internal and external requirements, consistently and up front.
This will avoid the need to collect data twice and facilitate more rigid
data analysis as well as more efficient project management of successful
applications e.g. negotiation of final agreements, cost centre allocation, and invoicing.
The latest form and instructions for completing an ACS are available
here. This web page also contains a link to
an example of a completed ACS.
Research Office Application Deadlines:
The Research Office internal closing dates for final
complete applications
are listed on the Application Procedures
page.
Acceptance of Offer (AO)
form
Upon notification of an award, the Research Office will
generate a pre-printed
AO (in snapshot format) based on the
information collected in the ACS. The AO will be sent by email to the principal
investigator for completion.
Only information that was not collected on the ACS will
need to be completed on the print-out eg. ethical clearance
requirements, however the pre-printed information can be amended if necessary.
The
signed form must be returned to the Research Office.
On receipt of a completed AO the Research Office
will process the
signed form and extract and export relevant data to Financial and Business Services
(Research Finance)
to generate the opening of the new account/s.
Financial and Business Services will notify researchers of the account number
by email.
